NAME
       ipcalc - perform simple manipulation of IP addresses
SYNOPSIS
       ipcalc [OPTION]... <IP address>[/prefix] [netmask]

DESCRIPTION
       ipcalc  provides  a  simple way to calculate IP information for a host.
       The various options specify what information ipcalc should  display  on
       standard  out.  Multiple  options  may  be specified.  An IP address to
       operate on must always be specified.  Most operations  also  require  a
       netmask or a CIDR prefix as well.

OPTIONS
       -c, --check
              Validate  the  IP address under the specified family.  If
              no address family is specified, IPv4 is assumed.

       -4, --ipv4
              Specify IPv4 address family (default).

       -6, --ipv6
              Specify IPv6 address family.

       -b, --broadcast
              Display the broadcast address for the  given  IP  address
              and netmask.

       -h, --hostname
              Display the hostname for the given IP address.

       -m, --netmask
              Calculate  the  netmask  for  the  given  IP  address. It
              assumes that the IP address is in a complete class A,  B,
              or  C  network. Many networks do not use the default net-
              masks, in which  case  an  inappropriate  value  will  be
              returned.

       -p, --prefix
              Show the prefix for the given mask/IP address.

       -n, --network
              Display  the network address for the given IP address and
              netmask.

       -s, --silent
              Don't ever display error messages.
